Indawo yokuQala yaseKhanada yeZixhobo zokuSebenza zeBattery ezisezantsi eziza kwakhiwa eSudbury

I-Wyloo ingene kwiMemorandam yokuQondana (MOU) kunye neSixeko saseGreater Sudbury ukuze kukhuselwe umhlaba ukuze kwakhiwe indawo esezantsi yokusetyenzwa kwemathiriyeli yebhetri. Isibonelelo esitsha siza kugcwalisa isithuba esibalulekileyo kwinqwelo yombane yaseCanada (EV) yokubonelela ngebhetri ngokuseka i-Canada yokuqala ye-mine-to-precursor cathode active material (pCAM) isisombululo esidibeneyo.

I-CEO yaseWyloo eCanada uKristan Straub uthe eli ziko liza kubonelela ngesiqwenga esilahlekileyo kwiminqweno yaseCanada yokuphuhlisa ikhonkco lokubonelela ngebhetri ye-EV yasekhaya, ngokuvelisa i-carbon nickel sulphate ephantsi kunye ne-nickel-dominant pCAM, izithako eziphambili zeebhetri ze-EV.

“Ibona imfuno yehlabathi yezithuthi zombane kunye nobunye ubuchwephesha obucocekileyo, iCanada ityale imali engaphaya kwe-40 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ukuseka eli lizwe njengendawo yehlabathi kushishino lwe-EV. Ngelixa sincoma olu tyalo-mali, luye lwabonisa i-gap ebalulekileyo kwi-North American EV supply chain, ngokukodwa, ukuguqulwa kwe-ore kwiikhemikhali zebhetri, "watsho.

“Ukungxamiseka kokuqinisa amandla oMntla Melika wokulungisa iintsimbi – ngakumbi, i-nickel – akuzange kubonakale ngakumbi. Indawo yethu iya kuba sisiqwengana esilahlekileyo esakha amandla okwenza izinto zebhetri kwalapha eSudbury. ”

I-Nickel yolu ncedo iza kunikezelwa ngumgodi ocetywayo we-Eagle's Nest ka-Wyloo kwingingqi ye-Ring of Fire kumantla e-Ontario, kunye neminye imithombo yokutya okune-nickel-party kunye nemathiriyeli yebhetri esetyenzisiweyo.

"Nge-Eagle's Nest njenge-anchor yethu, idibaniswe nokutya komntu wesithathu ovela kweminye imithombo yaseMntla Melika, sakha umthamo owaneleyo wokuhlangabezana neepesenti ezingama-50 zemfuno ye-nickel evela kutyalo-mali lwe-EV olubhengeziweyo," utshilo uMnu Straub.

“Ukuzinikela kwethu kukubonelela ngentembeko yenickel ecocekileyo yodidi oluphezulu ukusuka ekutsalweni ukuya ekusetyenzweni kwayo. Oku kuzibophezela kujolise ekwenzeni iKhanada, eyaziwayo ngemigangatho yayo yokusingqongileyo engenakulinganiswa kunye nezenzo ezizinzileyo, ukuba ibe yinkokeli kutyalo-mali lwendawo ekuqhutyweni kwezantsi, ukuseka ikhonkco lokubonelela oluzinzile kunye nokuziphatha ngaphandle kokuxhomekeka kwimpahla evela phesheya.

"Ndifuna ukubulela isiXeko sase-Greater Sudbury ngombono waso wokukhuthaza ishishini lasekhaya kwaye ndifuna ukubulela inkxaso ye-Atikameksheng Anishnawbek kunye ne-Wahnapitae First Nations esijonge phambili ekusebenzisaneni nabo njengoko siqhubela phambili le projekthi."

"Sijonge phambili ekuqhubeni incoko kunye nokuphuhlisa intsebenziswano kunye noWyloo kule projekthi," kusho u-Atikameksheng Anishnawbek Gimaa Craig Nootchtai. “Ukusebenza kunye kuqinisekisa ukuba amasiko nenkcubeko yethu iyabandakanywa kuphuhliso loqoqosho lwamazwe.”

“Ukubandakanyeka kwezi ncoko kubalulekile kuluntu lwethu,” utshilo uLarry Roque oyiNtloko yeSizwe saseWahnapitae. "Ubambiswano oluza kuphuhliswa ngale projekthi luya kubonisa oko kufuneka kwenziwe kwezinye iintlanga zokuQala kunye neenkampani zabucala."

IGreater Sudbury yakhethwa njengendawo yeli ziko ngenxa yobunkokeli bayo behlabathi kwicandelo lezemigodi kwaye iphambili ekutshintsheni kubuchwephesha obucocekileyo, kunye nokuzinikela kwayo kuxolelwaniso lweMveli noluntu lweSizwe sokuQala.

"I-Greater Sudbury inomhlaba, italente kunye nezixhobo ezifunekayo kwikamva lezemigodi kunye neteknoloji ye-BEV, njengoko kubonisiwe ngu-Wyloo ekhetha uluntu lwethu kwindawo yokuqala yaseKhanada yolu hlobo," kusho uSodolophu we-Greater Sudbury uPaul Lefebvre.

“Imbali yethu yemigodi etyebileyo, iinzame zokususa ikhabhoni kunye nezenzo zemigodi ezizinzileyo zisenza sahluke, kwaye siqinisekise ukuba sikulungele ukuxhasa kunye nokuqhuba izinto ezintsha. Singumbindi wemigodi wehlabathi otyala imali kwixa elizayo, kwaye sijonge phambili ekusebenzisaneni noWyloo kunye namahlakani asekuhlaleni aBemi Bomthonyama njengoko le projekthi iqhubela phambili.”

Isicatshulwa esivela kuRhulumente wase-Ontario

U-Vic Fedeli oHloniphekileyo, uMphathiswa woPhuhliso lwezoQoqosho, ukuDalwa kweMisebenzi kunye noRhwebo lwase-Ontario uthe, “Ubutyebi bezimbiwa base-Ontario busenza sahluke njengendawo yehlabathi yokuvelisa ii-EV kunye neebhetri ze-EV.

“Siyavuyisana ne-Wyloo nge-MOU yabo kunye neSixeko sase-Greater Sudbury ukuze sakhe indawo yokuqala yesizwe yokusetyenzwa kweentsimbi zentsimbi, eya kongeza elinye ikhonkco elibalulekileyo kwikhonkco lonikezelo lwe-EV oludityanisiweyo ngokupheleleyo, oluphelayo,” utshilo uMphathiswa uFedeli.

"Ndijonge phambili ekuqhubekeni kwenkxaso yi-Ontario kunye noorhulumente baseCanada ukukhawuleza indlela eya phambili kwimveliso, eya kudala ikhonkco lokubonelela ngeNorth America ngokwenene ukusuka kum ukuya kwiibhetri ze-EV," kusho uMnu Straub.

I-Wyloo kungokunje igqibezela uPhononongo lwe-Scoping yeprojekthi, nolwakhiwo lweziko ekulindeleke ukuba luqalise emva kolwakhiwo lomgodi ocetywayo we-Eagle's Nest. Ukwakhiwa komgodi kujongwe ukuqalisa ngo-2027.

I-Wyloo kunye nesiXeko zizinikele ekusebenzisaneni nabachaphazelekayo, ingakumbi abantu boMthonyama, ukuze baphonononge kwaye bachonge intsebenziswano enokubakho ukuze kuqinisekwe ngeenzuzo ekwabelwana ngazo kwezoqoqosho, ezentlalo nezendalo kunye namanye amathuba entsebenziswano.

I-Wyloo inomnikazi wabucala nguTattarang, iqela lotyalo-mali labucala lika-Andrew noNicola Forrest.
